They gave US zinester Elizabeth Soto *50 fucking years* in prison for publishing a zine that supports an anti-fascism stance. Prosecutors also used her feminism themed zine, and an anti-AI zine as evidence against her. This is unprecedented.

Wonder if anything big happened in 1917, the year after the first billionaire, and if there anything we should be thinking about now that we’ve passed this new milestone?

they’re shooting crowd control munitions at crowds that include multiple members of congress, the governor, and a sitting united states senator. they fired pepper balls at the senator. they cannot and will not be reigned in by democracy, whatever’s left of it.

read the article making this argument and it just reinforced the 3d printing analogy. the industry hype with AI is 100x larger, but the pattern was a similar "this is going to change humanity" to "this is going to revolutionize specific industries" to "this will be a fun hobby for eccentrics"

For context the NEH - the one those young DOFE dipshits wrecked to “cut the deficit” and eliminate DEI - had a budget of about $200 million. You could fund literally 1,000 new National Endowments for the Humanities instead of this pointless war

I would’ve been happy with several films that could have won;the one about liberating ice camps,mowing down white supremacists,kidnapping CEOs,hiding people from fascist government, or even the one about making Kevin O’Leary really angry. The point is go out and manifest the lessons of these films

This is Amy Madigan and Ed Harris refusing to applaud Elia Kazan's honorary Oscar in 1999. During the Blacklist Era, Kazan named names. Good on Amy and Ed.

Hit da hotline then hit da BRICKS

A da sharezone image of a skeleton on a purple background with blazing joints coming up out of the ground in front. It used to just say "just saw a dog." It now reads in obnoxious highly stylized text, in line with the da sharezone style guide.

Just saw a human rights violation
If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the Constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support, you don't have to go through with it.

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
